Control interactions between 87 well and affectively ill mothers and their young children were studied. Well mothers achieved compromise with their children, particularly daughters, more often than did affectively ill mothers. Affectively ill mothers, more often than well mothers, avoided confrontation with their children. (Author/JW)
